RE: Saito FA-40a engine for a pylon racer? What do ya think?

The way I figure it, if I'm going to spend money, I might as well go 4-stroke.

Also,...

Thanks Ed. Will keep that in mind.


Don, arn't Jett engines really loud though (not only compared to 4-strokes, but most 2-strokes as well)?

I'm already imagining flying a corsair with a big...

RE: New to Combat - Need Plane

RE: Newby Question - day to day pros and cons - 2 stroke vs 4 stroke

2-stroke usally have a better 'power' to weight ratio. There are some 2-strokes that are like bricks. Enya is a nice, light, but powerful example.

Exception example: Saiko is a 4-stroke only...

RE: What's With AirKill?! Please Help!

Thanks for the link! Pre-built glass fuselage and all for $100! To bad they're only 3-channel. I really like their Hellcat and Ki61.2. I'll have to keep it in mind. Their Typhoon doesn’t look as...

RE: What's With AirKill?! Please Help!

I don't know about the other gusy that used to make combat scale planes. It is difficult to stay in business if you run only 50 or 60 copies before obsoleting a design. You never recover your...

RE: What's With AirKill?! Please Help!

AirKill went out of busness when combat pilots quit buying exploding balsa designs that required too much time to build.
